Answer:

y = 60

Explanation:

given y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

to find k use the condition when y = 30 , x = 6

30 = 6k ( divide both sides by 6 )

5 = k

y = 5x ← equation of proportion

when x = 12 , then

y = 5 × 12 = 60
